Tony Avent's Fast-Growing Swoosh × tibae Cross With a Warm Golden Yellow Margin

Tony Avent of Raleigh, North Carolina registered Hosta 'Carolina Sunshine' in 1999 from a cross of H. 'Swoosh' and H. tibae. The leaves are medium green with a 1.3 cm (0.5") wide golden yellow margin and a slightly shiny upper surface, reaching 22.9 cm (9") long × 12.7 cm (5") wide. Medium lavender tubular flowers 2.5 cm (1") long rise on 50.8 cm (20") scapes from mid-July through late August. At a fast growth rate, it forms a generous mound 35.6 cm (14") tall and 101.6 cm (40") wide. Canadian gardeners from Zone 3 through 9 will find it one of the most reliably vigorous variegated hostas for the shade border.

Warm golden yellow margin: A consistent 1.3 cm (0.5") wide golden yellow margin frames the medium green leaf centre with a clean, warm contrast that holds its colour reliably through the Canadian growing season.
Slightly shiny upper surface: A gentle sheen on the upper leaf surface catches dappled light in the shade garden, giving the foliage a lively, fresh quality without the heaviness of a full-gloss finish.
Swoosh × H. tibae parentage: The cross of H. 'Swoosh' with H. tibae brings together two distinctive hosta lines, with H. tibae contributing its characteristic leaf quality and the Swoosh parent lending vigour and reliable garden habit.
Fast growth rate: One of the faster-growing variegated hostas in the medium-large category — 'Carolina Sunshine' fills its generous 101.6 cm (40") spread with impressive speed, making it an excellent choice for establishing a new shade border quickly.
Long summer bloom period: Medium lavender tubular flowers bloom from mid-July through late August — an extended period that keeps the display fresh well into the late season above the wide golden-margined mound.

Feature	Specification
Size (H × W)	35.6 cm × 101.6 cm (14" × 40")
Hardiness Zone	3–9
Colour	Medium green with golden yellow margin; medium lavender flowers

Grower's Tip: 'Carolina Sunshine' handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9 — its fast growth rate means it fills a large shaded gap satisfyingly quickly, and the golden yellow margin brightens even the deepest shade border with warm colour all season. We grow it at our nursery in Bécancour, QC and the clean golden margin definition is monitored before every plant ships. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic Tony Avent selection — confirmed before it leaves Bécancour.
